Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Here's the situation. I live in Pennsylvania and my neighbor recently passed away and had no will. She has 3 adult children, 1 who lived with her. She was a resident shareholder of a Cooperative housing unit. The adult child who lived with her was listed on the occupancy agreement, but not the stock certificate. Without a will and with the estate being settled, does the child who lives in the unit have any rights to the unit. Will she be able to continue to live there? Will the unit need to be sold to settle the estate? How is this handled? I am asking on her behalf as she does not have access to the computer to reserach this herself nor is she financially able to hire an attorney at this point. So I was hoping to give her some insight into this situation to help save her some time and money. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
